Chapter 433: Entering the Sword Sect and Looking for Vegetable Farms
Xianjian Peak.
This peak has an indescribable fairy-like feeling, it is ethereal and hard to find, shrouded in clouds and mist.
As soon as Ji Ruo set foot on the path up the mountain, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
The Immortal Sword Peak rises infinitely, as if it is tens of millions feet high, towering into the clouds, with no peak visible, as if there is a secret realm within a secret realm.
Clearly, Xianjian Peak seemed to be right before his eyes, and Ji Ruo was indeed on the road going up the mountain, but he didn't know how to move forward.
The road is clearly right under my feet, but... I draw my sword and look around, feeling confused.
Where is the road to immortality?
A faint sense of bitterness gradually spread in Ji Ruo's heart. The immortal spirit was ethereal and the immortal's traces were hard to find.
Life is but a hundred years long. A sword will decay if not maintained. Nothing in the world is eternal. The sword in my hand is not free either. How miserable and sad...
Chen Mo was howling loudly, the white cat had a dazed look in its eyes, and Rosie was sniffing here and there curiously, as if she was looking for food somewhere.
"Huh?"
Ji Ruo turned the sword, and the sword intent flowed throughout his body. He had already comprehended the sword intent and used it for his own benefit.
"At the foot of Xianjian Peak, life is full of suffering... kind of interesting."
"To become an immortal is to be free and unrestrained; to wield a sword and travel the world is also to be free and unrestrained..."
The plan is like swinging a sword, the sword's intention flows and changes, sweeping away the spirit of the Tang Dynasty and returning to the heart of youth.
"Since there is no immortal path, I will carve out one!"
As Ji Ruo swung the sword, the thick fog in front of him dissipated completely, revealing the scene at the foot of the mountain.
There were many people climbing around, as if they were still searching for the path to immortality, but they were making no progress.
When Ji Ruo saw this, he was slightly stunned.
The atmosphere of this Sword Sect seems to be much better than the other two sects.
"Such a domineering sword power!"
An old man with an immortal look appeared in front of Ji Ruo and praised him, "Which peak are you from? Do you have a master? I am the ninth elder of Xianjian Peak, and I want to take you in as my disciple..."
"Domineering?" Ji Ruo laughed: "What do you mean by that? My sword spirit was never born for domineering."
“There is no immortal road, but you want to cut one out. If this is not overbearing, what is it?” The ninth elder smiled and said, “In the past, the disciples who climbed my Immortal Sword Peak all understood the ethereal immortal ideas. They wanted to use this sword to lie high in the sky, but no one has ever cut it out!
Your sword spirit, the domineering immortal sword, deserves it!"
The Ninth Elder also had a talent in mind, so after a brief explanation, he asked in a friendly manner, "Young man, how long have you been climbing the mountain? You look young, so it should have been a long time since you last climbed the mountain... has it been half a year?"
"Oh, I just got here."
Ji Ruo rubbed Luo Xi's head and whispered to her to make her behave for the time being. Then he said, "Besides, I want to cut off the path to immortality not because I am overbearing, but because I want to go to the fairyland to have some fun... I haven't been to the fairyland yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sword intent in Ji Ruo's body changed again. No, it was not a change, but it seemed that a deeper level of artistic conception was revealed.
Beneath the seemingly domineering appearance, there is a strong curiosity and a simple desire to find out the truth.
"?"
The Ninth Elder was shocked: "Sorrow, tyranny, curiosity and exploration, and being down-to-earth... the fourth level of sword intent... how many years have you been at the top!"
"Didn't I tell you that I just arrived?" Ji Ruo counted on his fingers: "From the time I arrived at the Sword Sect to now, it has only been a few minutes."
"How many minutes?! Impossible!"
The Ninth Elder was horrified, and then seemed to have found out through some means the time when Ji Ruzhen really figured out the sword intent. He was shocked beyond words.
Then, there was ecstasy.
He actually came across such a good seedling! He must bring her back!
"Young man, this elder would like to accept you as his disciple..."
Ji Ruo didn't wait for him to finish, and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid that won't work. I'm not here to become your disciple this time."
"Aren't you here to become my disciple?" The Ninth Elder was startled, and hurriedly said, "The reason why I am the Ninth Elder is because I was ranked ninth when I reached the top. I am not weak. In this year's Fairy Sword Peak Competition, I ranked third!"
He also thought that Ji Ruo was dissatisfied with his title of the Ninth Elder.
"That's not it... Wait, the Fairy Sword Peak Competition? Is it over?"
Ji Ruoyi bowed and said, "Is it okay for Elder to continue to participate in the martial arts meeting?"
Ninth Elder: “?”
"The boy Ji Ruo, a warrior from Da Xia, wants to use the sword in his hand to challenge the Nine Sword Peaks and become the best in the world!"
"???"
Da Xia warrior?
Hearing this name and looking at the young Ji Ruo, the Ninth Elder didn't know what he remembered and shuddered subconsciously.
"Are you here to challenge me?"
"It's a bit too much to challenge the master. I want to ask for your advice. Hehe, I want to ask for your advice."
Ji Ruojian pointed at the Ninth Elder and said, "Please teach me!"
The Ninth Elder's face darkened and he drew his sword to fight back.
The two men's swords collided, without using much strength, but each move was exquisite and the sword intent was pure.
little.
The mountain trail was littered with sword marks. The Ninth Elder was lying on the ground, the sword in his hand broken, his face full of doubt about life.
"Thank you."
Ji Ruo bowed and left, and killed the Sword Sect disciples who were climbing the mountain at the same time - if he wanted to be the best in the world, he had to defeat everyone!
"etc!"
The Ninth Elder asked, "What kind of swordsmanship did you just use? It encompasses everything, and the sword intent is infinitely changeable... How can there be such a swordsmanship and sword intent!"
He carefully recalled the sword moves that Ji Ruo had just performed. He felt that they were extremely exquisite and left a lasting aftertaste. It also seemed as if something had been cut out of his body...
Ji Ruo did not even look back and continued to climb the mountain: "Of course it is the best swordsmanship and sword intent in the world!"
"Then why did you kill them?"
"Your Sword Sect also participated in the attack on my Great Xia predecessor. Your sword heart is not pure, and this is a punishment."
"so it is……"
The Ninth Elder smiled bitterly, but didn't say much. He lay on the ground and quietly comprehended Ji Ruo's sword moves. After a while, he sighed, "The young are formidable... Wait, where's my martial arts?!"
"Just now that young man cut something out of my body...hiss! Young man! Stop right there! Where is my martial arts?"
Ji Ruo quickened his pace and rushed forward: "I have given you the best swordsmanship in the world. Elder, you should learn it well. Let the past pass!"
"stop!"
If he has already run far away.
The ninth elder was stunned.
He suddenly realized that this kid named Ji Ruo seemed to be even more... than Li Guanqi back then...
Subconsciously taking a look at the broken Sky Sword Peak, the Ninth Elder remained silent.
I'm afraid that this time, Xianjian Peak will also be annihilated... But sword cultivators should never give up, and the boy's sword intention is also the same...
"The best in the world... He is so sharp, haha, he is a good candidate for sword training."
The Ninth Elder shook his head slightly, continued to comprehend, and did not chase after him.
…………
"Ji Ruo, when will you transform?"
Chen Mo said impatiently: "I want to chop them up too!"
Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until we get to Giant Sword Peak. The sword art there seems to be based on 'giant', emphasizing simplicity and ingenuity. Although the Giant of Light has been reduced in size by me, it is still a hundred meters tall. It is not appropriate to transform here... Uncle Chen Mo, the sword art of our human race is imprinted in this secret realm, right?"
Chen Mo was surprised: "You found it? I almost forgot to tell you that the ancestor of the Sword Sect used the Nine Swords to cut through the sky and forcibly opened up such a secret realm. After that, the rules of swordsmanship were imprinted in the world, but the most original rules of swordsmanship are still here. This is the benefit that the ancestor of the Sword Sect left for the descendants of the Sword Sect."
Ji Ruo nodded: "I get it, no wonder Uncle Li was able to kill directly into the Long River of Sword Dao back then...it turns out that the Long River of Sword Dao is right here.
We'll talk about the transformation later. I'll just take a look at it first. I think this place is pretty good... I don't know where the vegetable garden is."
He walked on the mountain road of Xianjian Peak and looked around.
The Immortal Sword is free and immortal, the Giant Sword is ingenious, the Qi Sword is straight and curved as desired, and the Heavenly Sword... is broken.
He climbed up the mountain step by step, gaining new insights with every step, but he could only reach the realm of Furnace Fire Pure Green. After that, although he could still comprehend, it was somewhat difficult.
Without a vegetable garden, the sword and sword skills can never reach the pinnacle of perfection.
Moreover, no matter how good and strong Jiujian Qifeng's sword intent was, it was ultimately just the sword intent of the Sword Sect's ancestor, not Ji Ruo's sword intent. It would be impossible to surpass the predecessors by learning from them.
"Vegetable field? What vegetable field?"
Luo Qian's eyes lit up and she turned her head to look around.
Ji Ruo laughed: "I'll look for it."
He didn't really think he could find it. Although it was impossible for the people of the Sword Sect to not eat, this was the Immortal Sword Peak. Didn't the immortals practice fasting? Even if the disciples of the Sword Sect who practiced the Immortal Sword and Sword Spirit couldn't practice fasting, their vegetable gardens shouldn't be there...
The kicked sneakers point in a certain direction.
"Hmm? I think I found it?"
Looking at the direction, it seems that we are really on the peak!
"Interesting, let's go and see what these Sword Sect disciples usually eat!"
Ji Ruo laughed loudly, put on his shoes again, and ran towards the "vegetable garden".
Others climbed the mountain to comprehend the meaning of the sword, but Ji Ruo was the only one who came to find a vegetable field...
Soon, a rice field came into view.
Ji Ruo didn't know what kind of rice this was, but it was shaped like a sword, standing proudly, with sword veins flowing on it, so for the time being, he called it sword rice.
"Specialty of the secret area? Good job."
Ji Ruo raised the sword and said, "I haven't learned this thing in the First Martial Arts School. It seems that it is not included in the Great Xia's spiritual creature atlas... Tsk, the Sword Sect is really stingy. They cultivated such a good thing but didn't even know to share it.
Fortunately, I am here! "
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
A disciple in charge of cultivating the rice fields saw Ji Ruo rushing towards the rice fields with his sword intent soaring into the sky, and immediately shouted loudly: "The sword field is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to enter!"
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you harvest. It's such a big field, it must be hard for you to harvest, right? Don't thank me, I'm a good person!"
As he spoke, Ji Ruo swept the rice stalks with his sword, and the rice stalks immediately bowed their heads. The Dao essence inside them appeared slightly green, but was condensed and did not disperse. Ji Ruo used his authority as a stove god to sense it and knew that this thing could improve a person's swordsmanship. Even people who had no talent for swordsmanship could cultivate simple sword skills by eating this rice regularly.
"Not bad!"
Ji Ruo praised and was about to taste the food with his iron sand palm, when he saw the disciple was furious and rushed towards him with a sword drawn: "Damn it! Which elder's disciple are you? Why are you so unruly? Don't you know that now is not the time to reap the rewards!
How dare you come to my Fairy Sword Peak Sword Field to cause trouble? No matter who your master is, I can't protect you today!"
"Not cooked? I thought so. The rice is so green... But it's not inedible. I've already figured out how to cook it."
“Still thinking about eating!”
The disciple was furious, rushed forward, raised his sword and chopped him down.
Ji Ruo lifted up the sword, swung it, and shook it, and then dropped the sword aside. While the disciple was stunned, he put the sword directly on his throat.
"!
!”
The disciple then became angry and said, "How dare you insult me with just a stick? Do you know who my master is?"
Ji Ruo frowned, "As a swordsman, he can't even hold the sword steadily. He doesn't even think about reflecting when he can't win, and just uses his strength to overwhelm others... Most importantly, he guards such a large piece of land, but doesn't even think about honing his sword skills. Tsk, it turns out that his swordsmanship is not pure!"
Having said that, Ji Ruo knocked him to the ground.
Although it was a blunt sword, and even had lush green leaves growing on it, the astonishing sword power revealed in that instant when Ji Ruo chopped it off was still incredibly terrifying.
And then——
"Where's my martial arts?!"
When he came to his senses, he saw Ji Ruo stuffing a few little figures that looked 70% like him into a small pocket.
Those villains struggled continuously, but they were completely unable to defeat Ji Ruo.
"What is that!"
"Your martial arts skills."
Ji Ruo explained cheerfully, "You are not practicing these sword techniques correctly. You cannot cultivate your sword spirit to be pure. This is not good. I will put them away for you. You can practice again later. No need to thank me."
"???"
Why should I thank you?!
The disciple's eyes widened: "You, what kind of magic is this!"
"It's not a magic trick, it's the rules of this martial arts competition. I brought it here. How about I help you make up for the regret of not being able to participate in the martial arts competition. Are you very grateful to me? Don't be so polite. We are the two of us."
"Do I know you?"
The disciple was a little overwhelmed, and didn't care about Jian Tian anymore. He rushed forward with red eyes: "Give me back my martial arts!"
"I told you to start over. You didn't practice these sword techniques correctly. I gave you a chance to break through and then rebuild. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why are you repaying kindness with hatred?"
The disciple lost all his martial arts skills and fell to the ground, covered in mud, looking very miserable.
He was not injured, mainly because he was still a little uncomfortable. His physical condition was still good, so it was impossible for him to get hurt.
“You, you!”
The man was furious, pointing at Ji Ruo, trembling all over, "Just wait for me, I'll go get my master!"
"Are you still thinking of complaining to the elders?" Ji Ruo was surprised: "How did you get into the Sword Sect? Isn't the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple more suitable for you?"
"Pooh!"
The man ignored Jiantian and turned around and left quickly.
Ji Ruo clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's time to get down to business... I was so careless. I should have looked for similar spiritual fields when I was in Xingji Sect and Wanfo Temple! Forget it, the coordinates have been recorded anyway, I can just go back and look for them."
Afterwards, Ji Ruo felt distressed again.
"They are not ripe yet, and you can eat them, but it feels a bit unfair to cut them down like this..."
The white cat immediately said, "Master, leave it to me. I have a way to ripen it quickly!"
"You?" Ji Ruo was stunned, then scratched his head and said with a smile: "I forgot that you are still the Goddess of the Land."
"Hehe~ Master, just look at me!"
The white cat, who was finally able to help, invoked the power of the land god without saying a word, cast divine spells, and mobilized the power of the earth veins to ripen this large sword field.
The sword rice in the sword field began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Dao seeds gradually matured.
The rice grains were full and shaped like small swords the size of soybeans.
Rosie couldn't wait any longer. She smelled the fragrance of rice and her mouth was watering.
If a young man holds a sword stick and walks into a sword field, the rice plants will bow their heads wherever they pass, and laugh loudly: "If a young man holds this stick, all the rice plants in a ten-mile sword field will bow their heads!"
Chen Mo corrected him earnestly, "It should be the sword field of the Nine Swords Peak... How big is ten miles?"
“So big!”
